Free after MIR at San Diego Frys: PCI Firewire, USB 2.0 cards

[858diver]

Okay, it is only a Via chipset (VT6306), and Frys / Inland rebates are a hassle, but the cable alone is worth it.

Product description from Inland / Ben Cole web site

$15 - $15 MIR - couldn't resist it!

Also picked up a USB 2.0 PCI card, free after $10 MIR - made by IO Gear.

Product description from IOGear web site.

Rebate fulfilled by Parago - Link to rebateshq

Yeah I just picked one of the firewire cards up too. I was just about to install it. How are the Fry's/Inland rebates a hassle?

BTW, anyone get one of these cards to work with their PC iPods yet?


BTW again, Fry's also has a canned air for $1.99 and a 6qt crock pot for $14.xx, though I'm sure this is a repost somewhere...

Just got it hooked up. Good to go on my WinXP box...

Good deal! I need a 2.0 card and some canned air as well.

How are Fry's/Inland rebates a problem? The last one I sent in (last June) for a USB hub was never paid. Unfortunately it was one of the few items that I didn't make copies of. It looked like they (Ben Cole / Inland) were doing their own rebates, which is never a good sign. At least it was only $6 and I actually needed a USB hub then. I haven't bought any Ben Cole/Inland products since. Rebates for products from Fry's in general seem to take even longer to be paid than most, when they are paid.

the deal is dead as of today. got my self a firewire card hope it works.

if you have a problem with the rebate either frys or manufactureers, you can always go to the store and talk to the manager i guess there is one for the rebates. he/she will make sure you get the rebate, make sure you have all the documentation or else they cant help you.
